    Well, I suppose you've only been applying a selective amount of attention.

    But you sure don't know me, just by being here on this here internet. (You'd better get your mind wrapped around that reality.)

    I can tell you RIGHT HERE... that I don't assume to know YOU (good/bad).

    I DO know that you've said something HORRIBLY RACIST, and I think it is reprehensible. (And if I forced my gayness upon you, then I could understand your antipathy... but otherwise, it just seems to be a homophobic expression.)

    If I were to compare the President's academic and intellectual acumen, to that which you are exhibiting in your commentary... I'm pretty sure that he would not be the one selected to win the label, "moron".

    Mrs. Palin would have been good for America as President? (I think the VAST MAJORITY of Americans know better, by now.)

    Well, you do what most Americans do... select what they believe to be the lesser of evils.

    The reason blacks are being held back is because of Reagan and Bush of course. What else would we blame it on? Personal responsibility yea right. It's clearly the right wing that is holding them back.

    Tell me what I said that was supposedly racist?????? And also, what do you mean by that inference about Palin being President!!!!! Everyone knows Cheney actually called the shots when bush was President, but what makes you think McCain would have given his power away???

    Our economy would be thriving without the parasites, and with Republicans probably in perennial control of the land, evil things like homosexuality and abortion would at least severely curtailed, if not outright stopped completely.

    So, we have yet to see one conservative here say they see anything wrong with grouping an entire race as being dumb and lazy.

    Not one.

    Whatever!!

    Still, any reasonable and decent human being must ask:

    How can such racist commentary as you shared before, be a good thing? (Frankly, it was disgusting.)

    I mean, we're all HUMAN here.

    Believe me, no one would ever call me a liberal, that is for sure.

    Put on the site here what I said that was supposedly "disgusting". Quit beating around the bush.

    I am only conservative if you mean an individual who believes that liberty is best preserved by limiting governments with written constitutions.

    I do not believe that you are conservative in that sense of the term. I believe that you long for a big government that can right every perceived wrong, real or imagined. And of course, a government that will take much from some (those who produce wealth) to give to others (those who do not produce wealth).

    As a manager who has hired many people over the last eight years I always looked for the best person among those who were available to fill each of our positions. Every person, whether black or white, was the best available. Everyone knows it. Blacks as well as whites. We actually like each other. Imagine that. Meritocracy works.

    Is there anything wrong with grouping an entire society as racist?

    The majority of the country operates like that, it just sucks that a few on the internet makes it look like everyone is like them.

    were you planning on answering my question, or do you need more time?

    Liberals aren't as terrible as YOU seem to imagine, that's for sure.

    LOL!!! daryle, I KNOW you can see the same characters and order I see on my screen; this is 'interactive'.

    Just read what you wrote, and tell me why most decent human beings would question what you have said (whether you agree with them, or not).

    I'm serious about this as I can be. You are informing my views on many things tonight (though you may not realize it, from where you're sitting).

    You got it the opposite. The reason we are so powerful IS our diversity. We let everyone participate. Even our Middle East enemies still don't get why we kick ass. We let all races participate in our society. We let women participate. And they aren't ever going to catch up with us until they stop being racist, sectarian, and shutting their women in the back room. One of the major things preventing the US from our full potential is the few people here that we have that still don't realize this power of diversity, which is racism.

    Maybe it is. Eliminate all welfare programs that replace a father in the home with a welfare check from the government.

    "but you miss the point, why is esteem tied to hip hop rather than GPA? why is it so important?"
    Of course you missed the point. Music is more important than academic achievement.

    You completely missed the point.

    That is the point. Why?
